Fillable PDF in WebDev

I currently am able to open and display PDF files inside my WebDev 25 app. I load them into an iFrame - this works well as I get a nice toolbar with rotate, zoom etc.

I am now experimenting with fillable/editable PDF forms. They display fine and I can edit them no problem. But I have no way to save the edited PDF back to my server.

Any ideas?

Is there a better way to load, display, save PDF files in WebDev?

Hi,

Not used them myself (yet), but there are a whole host of PDF functions, but they work on PDF variable types. There's a PDFSave function for example, but it might mean you handle the PDF documents differently to how you are at the moment.

Thanks Darren, yes I've seen them to but nothing about displaying the PDF variable.....

What about this?

I'm using WebDev and it's only available in WinDev

Hi,

Yes sorry, I diligently checked and then forget to check applicable products on my final reply!

You could probably do it in the cloud, but it won't be free. There's PDFCloud which is free but then they charge if you want to do API calls.

It doesn't help but it's a pity you can't do something like PDFReaderOpen(PDF_MyPDFReader, MyPDFVariable)

All I can suggest is a feature request to PCS?
